Rhyl Football in the Community aim through a wide range of initiatives, to encourage people, particularly children, to participate in football and other sports.
Incredible form for Rhyl in winning 24 out of 28 league games - much better than championship-winning season. The real surprise is that Llanelli are still in their. IF they beat us, it would just take one drawn game from us for them to win the title. IF they won their remaining games but, like us, they do keep winning.
They will have no problem whatsoever against Pothmadog and nore should we against Airbus although they will be stubbornly defensive. I must admit that I'd rather be playing Hwest away than Talbot. That leaves Llanelli's game at Carmarthen as their game in hand, and Carmarthen have just lost at home to Welshpool.
For the final three games, TNS will have a lot to prove and will be more difficult opponents than Aber.The other 2 games for each club should be wins.
In summary, let's just beat Llanelli at their place. That's the simplest scenario !
I just can't see llanelli winning all those 3 tough away games.(I also don't think they'll beat us either). They concede too many goals and I don't believe that they're that much better than the other sides.
4 wins out of 6 will do it. If we can beat PT next week, which I agree is probably our most difficult game left, though 1 if we play to our full potential we will win, then I think they can get the black and white ribbons ready.
Hopefully no omen from what's been going on top of English Premier.
Lesson 1 - Keep 11 players on the pitch.
We have a tremendous squad now, with strength in depth in all areas of the field.
If we play as we can do we can beat any team in this league, it is up to us to get the results in the remaining fixtures.
Whereas all our players are quality I feel that the contribution of Gareth Owen has been outstanding this season. This lad, despite his age, is absolute class and could still be playing at a higher level. I would go so far as to say that had he been at Wrexham last season they might not have been relegated from the Football League.
In mentioning Gareth I do not detract in anyway from the other players in this squad, they are one and all quality players who have taken us up to another level this season.
No question he's 1 of our players of the season.
I know Hulsey was keen on him. I wish we'd signed him 4 years ago
Porthmadog have had some decent results against Llanelli over the years so dont count that as a gimme.
Pressure is on them and none on Port. Its a funny game this!!
Would rather play Port at home than Talbot away. Llanelli did 8 straight wins on their way to the title end of last season and only lost at TNS final day after they'd already won the league. Only safe strategy is to stop them from beating us and win all our other games. Anything else is ifs and buts. They're still hanging in there and can now see the finishing line. Wouldn't bank on them slipping up
